For Asian Restaurants

The ordering system for Asian restaurants

Asian cuisine places unique demands on an ordering system: hundreds of dishes, complex variants, allergen labelling for 14 substances, and a lunch rush that must be processed within 60 minutes — GastroSystem is built exactly for this.

What many Asian restaurants know too well

  • Menus with 150–300 items — sushi sets, wok dishes, dim sum, ramen, Thai curry — hard to maintain and update
  • Lieferando takes up to 30% commission; with a €22 average order value that leaves just €15.40
  • Allergen labelling for 14 substances is especially complex for Asian dishes: sesame, peanuts, soy, crustaceans and molluscs
  • Phone orders break down on spice levels, sauce choices and 'no coriander' requests
  • Lunchtime peak: 40% of daily revenue arrives between 11:30 and 13:30 — capacity problems in the system
  • Customer data sits with Lieferando; you cannot reach your regulars directly

How GastroSystem solves this

Menu builder for large catalogues

Up to 500 dishes with categories, subcategories, variants and extras. Spice levels (1–5 chillies), sauce choice, protein choice (tofu/chicken/beef/duck) — all configurable as mandatory or optional fields per dish. Bulk editor: update prices or allergens across multiple dishes at once.

Allergen labelling per EU Food Information Regulation

Enter all 14 mandatory allergens per dish — sesame, peanuts, soy, milk, eggs, gluten, crustaceans and molluscs, fish and more. Guests filter your app directly by allergen. The system automatically prints allergen information on the receipt. Especially relevant for Asian cuisine where sesame and peanut oils often hide invisibly in sauces.

Wok station and sushi counter served separately

Assign a dedicated receipt printer to each category: sushi orders go directly to the sushi counter, wok dishes and ramen to the wok station, starters to the kitchen. No confusion with parallel orders, no walking between stations and the till.

Accelerate the lunch rush with QR ordering

Table guests order via QR code themselves — no staff needed at the counter for order taking. For a typical Asian restaurant with 40 lunch covers and 1.5 table turns, that means 60 table orders in 120 minutes without a server having to visit every table individually. Table throughput rises, waiting time drops.

0% commission — flat rate instead of percentage

You pay €79–299/month depending on plan, regardless of order volume. With 200 orders at €22 you save €1,320/month compared to 30% platform commission — that is 4.4 times the most expensive GastroSystem plan.

Your own branded app

Your restaurant name, your logo, your colours — as a native app on the App Store and Google Play. Regulars save their favourite order including spice level and extras. Your customer data belongs to you.

Cost example

An Asian restaurant with 200 Lieferando orders per month and an average order value of €22 pays €1,320/month in commissions (30%). With GastroSystem Professional you pay €299/month — saving over €1,020 per month. Add saved costs for a separate newsletter tool (~€50) and avoided phone mis-orders (estimated 2–3 cancellations/month at €15 each). Effective saving: over €1,100/month.

Frequently asked questions for Asian restaurants

Can I create hundreds of dishes with variants?

Yes. GastroSystem is optimised for large menus: categories, subcategories, variants, extras and modifiers — up to 500 items without performance loss.

How do I manage allergens for 14 mandatory substances?

You enter allergens per dish once in the backend. When a sauce or ingredient changes, you update once and all affected dishes show the new information. Guests filter in the app directly by allergen.

Can I configure spice levels as a mandatory choice?

Yes. Via the extras system you define spice levels as a required field: the guest cannot place an order without choosing a level. This appears clearly on the kitchen receipt.

How do I separate orders for the wok station and sushi counter?

In the menu editor you assign each category a target printer. Sushi categories print at the sushi counter, wok dishes at the wok station — fully automatic with every order.

Does GastroSystem work for all-you-can-eat?

In-venue QR ordering works well for all-you-can-eat concepts. Guests order rounds directly at the table; you monitor table activity via the dashboard.

Can I run Lieferando and GastroSystem in parallel?

Yes. Many Asian restaurants start in parallel and gradually shift orders to their own system. You build your own customer base alongside Lieferando.

What does GastroSystem cost for a mid-sized Asian restaurant?

The Professional plan at €299/month covers unlimited orders, multiple printers, loyalty programme and marketing tools. With 200 orders/month at €22 the system pays for itself within the first day of the month compared to Lieferando commissions.
